Which should be a functional test on dib, or at some lower level, not
randomly done in the integration tests of unrelated projects. The
current ball of mud testing leads to high coupling and high failure
rates, because everything is secondarily tested. It should never be run
during nova patches, because there is 0 chance that a Nova patch can
impact that code.

We spent a lot of time trying to decouple libraries from projects and
put the tests in the right places to actually verify the behavior closer
to the code in question. dib / ironic is still doing gating like other
projects were a year ago, which was fragile and led to unrelated lock
ups like this really often. So that needs to be prioritized soon.
